Okay so I clearly have an issue with my RO. I had an appointment with my SO three weeks ago and followed up with my plastics guy the next day, but my RO is my primary. I had a check up with him and all is clear thankfully, but some of you may remember before I started treatment they did a chest CT on me... that showed "insignificant spots" now I was later told... that everyone has them, r/t environment etc... and it was called insignificant spots for a reason... makes sense but I was concerned because my original chest CT was clear... was later told that it likely wasn't likely the spots were there, but only one radiologist reported it because - it is a cancer hospital and they have to report everything where as the other ct was taken at a local hospital. I was okay with this.
However today I asked my RO (I had a clear head CT with clear lung passages etc in AUG but they didn't do a chest CT) if they only do CTs if there is an issue, he said yes... exposure to radiation yada yada yada... okay so that's fine. I guess... he said they prefer to look and feel to make sure everything is okay... I get scoped every three months etc... So I said to him well should you not do another chest CT to make sure everything is clear.. he said well it's either in your chest or it's not. If its there there's no point in doing a chest CT because there's nothing we can do.
WTF??? seriously?
I mean... okay I know it would be grave, however, if something is there in the early stages is it NOT MORE TREATABLE at that stage than if you are presenting symptoms and issues? Hello? Early detection? I've about had enough of this guy.
HMPH! Thanks for letting me sound off.
